“Snow Falling on Cedars” by David Gutterson (1994). Old passions, prejudices, and grudges surface in a Washington State island town when a Japanese man stands trial for the murder of a fisherman in the 1950s. Guterson (The Country Ahead of Us, the Country Behind, 1989, etc.) has written a thoughtful, poetic first novel, a cleverly constructed courtroom drama with detailed, compelling characters. Books under consideration for February – “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” or “84 Charing Cross Road.” Join us and help us decide. Facilitator: Jim Coty
